I just wanted to point out that Ben Sheets has thrown 115 or more pitches as many times in his last seven starts as Sabathia had before tonight (four times by both). I just thought it was an interesting coincidence - I guess we'll see how long he lets Sheets go tonight. Hopefully the Brewers get out to a big lead and make it a non-issue.

His pitch count is going to be high without a doubt this evening.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
